“It was a really evenly plated match, I look forward to playing them again,” said BHS Coach Kelly Blake. “We had a break down in our defensive formation that led to the goal. We’ll come back in a couple of week and get ready to play the second round of Desert Sky League play.”

Burroughs had six shots, playing a strategy that normally suits the team well.

Blake said the team relies on creating goals through attacking the keeper and scoring on rebounds.

While the team got shots on net, the Victor keeper caught them and prevented rebound scoring opportunities.

Blake credited Meagan Schiller for playing well as a forward. Blake said Schiller controlled the middle and passed well to the other forwards.

She successfully ran in the open space between the Victor Valley defense.

The Burros will have the next two weeks off and will return to the pitch on Nov. 9 at Barstow to resume the DSL season.
